Child restraint for child seat
Patent No. 10,363,951
A child restraint for a child seat is relatively easily engaged using a passive approach and resists disengagement until released. A cross bar can be moved along a slide mechanism in the restraint, where the cross bar or the slide mechanism may include a ratchet mechanism. The ratchet mechanism may operate to permit the cross bar to be moved with relative ease in a first direction, and resist movement of the cross bar in a second, different direction. The cross bar in a lowered position contributes to restraining the child in the child seat by limiting leg movement. A release mechanism is actuated to release the cross bar to permit relatively easy movement. A locking mechanism may be employed to lock the cross bar in place.
